    This is a good news as well as bad news for us. If UL starts this year then competition so good rates, plus it won't be a good route for UL as EK will dominate the route

        Which aircraft will be used on this route? What's the seat configuration? Have they received the approval from SL Gov to do CMB-MEL route? Last time SL Gov declined the request from QR for flying CMB-SYD.

                        Sri Lanka to sign air service agreement with Canada

                        The Sri Lankan Cabinet of Ministers Tuesday has approved the signing of an air services agreement with Canada.

                        Although a large number of expatriate Sri Lankans are living in Canada, currently there is no air services agreement operating between the two countries

                        Signing of an air services agreement aims to provide facilities to promote trade and tourism between the two countries.

                        The Cabinet of Ministers has granted approval to a proposal put forward by the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Nimal Siripala de Silva to sign the proposed air services agreement officially agreed to formalize air services between Sri Lanka and Canada and to implement the provisions in the agreement.

                            Is it profitable UL serving CMB-LHR-YTZ or CMB-FRA-YTZ with 4 weekly A330-300?
                            is AC not interested in doing seasonal flights to CMB?

                                    At the current financial situation. I have my doubts about the the viability...even badly managed airlines like PIA and AI makes money on that routes. But UL does not have any cash or capital for that investment

                                    AC is not interested...they are happy with DEL and DXB

                                            Etihad Cargo increases Colombo freighter flights from 1 to 2 weekly, from this month. It's the only airline currently flying direct from Sri Lanka to United States. Route : AUH-CMB-MXP-LCK with 2 weekly onboard B777F.

                                                        EK already has DXB-CMB-SIN-MEL. Do you mean direct flight between CMB-MEL?

                                                            According to the article, this is coming from the most unreliable mouth piece of the regime. Highly doubt this, but will be delighted if this really is genuine.
